The Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff's Department contacted the local authorities in New Sarpy, Louisiana for assistance in locating Morgan Prescott. Deputy David Montaigne of the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Department visited the Prescott residence in New Sarpy to interview Mr. Prescott and, pursuant to a Judge's Order, impound Mr. Prescott's Chevrolet Silverado for forensic examination in the Monica Drum homicide investigation. The St. Charles Sheriff's Department was already familiar with Prescott, as he has been arrested on several occasions on such charges as public intoxication, urinating in public, drunk and disorderly, disturbing the peace, and simple battery.

The St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Department provided this transcript of the interview.

Deputy David Montaigne

Morgan Prescott

Deputy Montaigne: Mr. Prescott? I'm Deputy Montaigne from the Sheriff's Department. I'd like to talk to you about your pickup truck.

Morgan Prescott: What about it?

Deputy Montaigne: Do you think I could come inside to talk about this?

Morgan Prescott: What for?

Deputy Montaigne: I just thought we might be more comfortable.

Morgan Prescott: I'm plenty comfortable right here.

Deputy Montaigne: OK, then. About your truck. Do you still have the blue and white Silverado?

Morgan Prescott: Yeah.

Deputy Montaigne: Is that it over there?

Morgan Prescott: No, that's my other blue and white Silverado.

Deputy Montaigne: Spare me the sarcasm, Mr. Prescott. Where did you get that truck?

Morgan Prescott: Why?

Deputy Montaigne: Because, Mr. Prescott, that's what I want to know. We can always conduct this interview down at the Sheriff's Office, if you prefer.

Morgan Prescott: I got the truck from Dave.
